Because no adulterants are used in these oil paints, each color retains the unique characteristics of the pigments, including tinting strength, undertone and texture.

class=""Gamblin's full line of oil paints contains hues that include both mineral (inorganic pigments such as Cadmiums, Cobalts, and Earth) and modern (organic pigments such as Hansas, Napthols, Phthalos, and Quinacridones) colors.

Mineral Colors

Mostly opaque with a few semi-transparent and transparent colors, Gamblin's mineral color oil paints have a high pigment load and low oil absorption rate. The mineral colors grey easily in mixtures making them good choices for natural light painting. Try Gamblin's rich, buttery Cadmiums, our permanent Cobalts, and the variety of traditional Earth colors.

Modern Colors

Mostly transparent with some semi-transparent colors, Gamblin's modern color oil paints are available in both a warm or cool version. The modern colors are the best choice for high key paintings and bright tints. Try Gamblin's Phthalo colors, with high tinting strength pigments of extremely fine particle size. The Hansas are very clean in mass tone and in mixtures. Or explore the differences between Gamblin's Quinacridone and Napthol Reds.

By using Gamblin oil paints, any artist can take advantage of these tinctorial and textural differences.
